We though a lot about this issue when we came out with our proposal, because it needs to be crystal clear for IANA. We first discussed using some integer value formulas and finally came out with the reservation idea. We did not received any comment about problems in our text and I am not very sure why you rather propose a different text than supporting the existing one with a different value for the last allocation (the only main difference).
